104: Suppress the rebels

"He ran away?" Lin Yue asked, somewhat surprised.

Why did Lu Bu suddenly run away?

"It's alright, The Great General went after him; he can't escape even if he had wings," She Jian said with a smile.

"What is The Great General's strength?" Li Yuanba asked curiously.

"Mythical Realm. The Great General has the Great Qin's destiny bestowed upon him. His martial arts have reached the pinnacle. He is the Great Qin's foremost warrior!" She Jian said with a smile.

Destiny bestowed upon him?

Lin Yue heard this term for the first time and planned to ask She Jian about it thoroughly when they were alone.

"Yuanba, don't worry, you will also become a Military General of the Mythical Realm in the future," Li Shimin consoled him.

"Mm!" Li Yuanba nodded heavily.

"So you need to eat more in the future. Look at how thin you are, just skin and bones," Li Shimin said with some worry.

"Second Brother, don't worry, I'm very strong!" Li Yuanba said with a smile.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap in broad daylight!

A bolt of lightning struck down, leaving an afterimage in the air.

Everyone was somewhat surprised; this was the direction The Great General was pursuing Lu Bu.

"My lord, This humble general pursued him for thirty li. Just as This humble general was about to strike him down, someone rescued him," Pan Feng reported upon his return.

"Do you know who rescued him?" Lin Yue asked.

"Yesterday's Ah Tai and that scholar," Pan Feng replied.

"Alright, then neither of you were injured, right?" Lin Yue asked.

"No, those two were in a hurry. After rescuing the person in a carriage, they fled."

"It's good that you weren't injured. You've worked hard, go and rest," Lin Yue said.

That day, the scholar was too far from him, exceeding the range of his Art of Recognizing People, so he couldn't ascertain the scholar's identity.

But for a First-rate Military General like Ah Tai to willingly serve him, and for that scholar to possess healing magic, he must be no ordinary person.

Pan Feng and Xing Daorong were no match for Ah Tai, let alone with that scholar present. One could only say that Zang Tu was not destined to die. The fortunate thing was that Pan Feng and Xing Daorong were not injured.

As for the scholar's true identity, Lin Yue would know sooner or later. After all, a person of his caliber would eventually shine brightly, and one day they would meet again!

"They must have fled when they saw the situation was unfavorable," She Jian said. "The Army caught many rebels trying to escape on the outskirts. Their momentum is now gone."

"General, what realm is that scholar in?" Lin Yue asked.

"That scholar you mentioned? I can't see through him. He must be above me," She Jian said after some thought.

"Dong!"

General Meng Tian returned!

Behind him followed Lu Bu, completely bound by ropes, with a look of dejection on his face.

"She Jian, heed my command!" General Meng Tian said.

"This humble general is here!"

"Shuiyun City has been breached. You are to lead sixty thousand new troops to cut off their retreat!"

"Understood!" She Jian accepted the order, then mounted his warhorse and led the Army to Shuiyun City!

"Li Shimin, Li Yuanba!"

"This humble general is here!" Li Shimin responded with a cupped-hand salute!

"You two are to lead the Garrison Army to Qingshan City. Not a single rebel must escape!" General Meng Tian said.

"This humble general accepts the order!" Li Shimin saluted and accepted the command, then pulled Li Yuanba towards the warhorses, leading thirty thousand cavalry to Qingshan City!

The warhorses galloped away. When only Lu Bu and General Meng Tian remained, Lu Bu suddenly asked:

"The Great General, how do you plan to deal with me?"

"As the rebel leader, you will naturally be escorted to Xianyang to be dealt with by His Majesty!" General Meng Tian said.

"Will I be beheaded?" Lu Bu continued to ask.

Ever since he used Thor's Slash and General Meng Tian easily nullified it, he had lost even his last thought of escaping.

General Meng Tian's strength was like a pool of cold water, calm on the surface, but one would never know its true depth!

"I've said it before, your life or death can only be decided by His Majesty," She Jian said in a deep voice.

"The Great General, I don't want my martial arts to be wasted!

Aren't you going to kill the Xiongnu? I can go kill the Xiongnu!" Lu Bu said urgently!

His martial arts could be said to have reached the pinnacle, only one step away from the Mythical Realm!

A heroic figure like him should have made a name for himself throughout the world, and he was working hard for it, but just as he was showing his formidable power, he met General Meng Tian!

This is not my fault, but rather Heaven's will to destroy me! Lu Bu sighed inwardly.

He had long heard from his subordinates about The First Emperor's tyranny. Being escorted to Xianyang, he could not escape death, but he did not want to die so early!

Lu Bu looked at General Meng Tian, seeing him remain silent for a long time, deep in thought. He secretly thought there was a chance and continued to speak:

"I, Bu, was truly misled by villains and thus went astray!

I, Bu, also have a heart full of passion and am willing to drive out the Xiongnu and achieve merits by killing barbarians.

If you do not abandon me, I, Bu, am willing to pledge..."

"Stop, save those words for His Majesty," General Meng Tian glanced at him, interrupting Lu Bu, and then walked forward on his own... Lin Yue followed She Jian to Shuiyun City. The news of Lu Bu's capture had just spread throughout the cities, causing panic among the rebels, who threw away their armor and fled.

So Lin Yue and his men effortlessly captured hundreds of thousands of prisoners and escorted them all the way to General Meng Tian's location.

"[Congratulations to the player for slaying 31 rebels, rewarding the player with 310 Merits (Merit Points).]

"[Congratulations to the player for slaying one rebel leader, rewarding the player with 100 Merits (Merit Points).]

Since arriving in Shanggu Commandery, Lin Yue had participated in battles big and small, accumulating a total of 2000 Merits (Merit Points)!

Once he obtains another 48000 Merits (Merit Points), he will be able to exchange for a high-level barracks for the village, which will further boost the village's combat power!

"General, we have captured 100,000 rebels, including 26 ranked Military Generals and one Third-rate Military General," Lu Yun reported.

"A Third-rate Military General?" She Jian asked.

"This person is a remnant of the Chu state, who traveled thousands of miles to surrender!" Lu Yun said with a smile.

"Haha, he will be handed over to The Great General later.

Also, you must treat him well. This person traveled thousands of miles to deliver himself up; it can be said that the gift is small, but the sentiment is deep!" She Jian said with a smile.

But in Lin Yue's view, although this plan was grand in scale, most of those rounded up were remnants of the Six States, and it was destined not to change the outcome.

Because now, the civil and military officials of Great Xia and players from reality are gathered in Great Qin, some even holding positions in Great Qin.

One must know that when a dynasty cannot be broken from the outside, internal disintegration will be the only way.

If The First Emperor did not die, he might be able to temporarily suppress them, but once The First Emperor passed away, it would be inevitable that some would be unable to restrain their ambitions.

Moreover, this rebellion mostly involved remnants of the Six States, and few familiar historical figures were captured. Instead, it gave Li Shimin an opportunity to step onto the stage!

This undoubtedly accelerated the rise of these individuals!

"General, where are we going now?" Lin Yue asked.

"The rebels' main camp in Zhuolu County has been breached. The Great General has ordered the three Army commanders to gather there," She Jian said with a smile.

The Shanggu rebels have been defeated. This was a battle planned personally by His Majesty, with the combined efforts of three parties. While a promotion is not very realistic, rewards are certainly indispensable!

"Let's go, to Zhuolu County!" She Jian said with a smile, as sixty thousand new troops escorted one hundred thousand rebels to Zhuolu County!
